Cape Cod - September 2017

Great-grandma Ruth recently moved into a posh retirement home. So this weekend, Kevin took the kids to visit, and also helped Grandma Kathy move into Great-grandma's old house. I stayed home to catch up on stuff before school starts.

Friday Grandma took the kids to Follins Pond at her old place

Saturday, Kevin, Steve, Mike, and Chris helped Grandma Kathy move. How lucky to have so many strong helpful men in the family. Katie took the kids to Grandma Kathy's new place. After phase 1 of the move was done, some of the helpers went to Bayview Beach.

Cape Cod- August 2017

In addition to spending time on Cape Cod, and having a blast at Megan and Chris's wedding, the kids enjoyed three days with family on Cape Cod. They went to Follins Pond every day. In addition, Friday they went with Kathy and Nancy to Bray Farms.

Grandma + the Pond = their favorite

Saturday they visited Great Grandma Ruth and Aunt Mary, went to the pond with us, and then went to mini-golf and a camp fire with Aunt Nesie and Uncle Steve.

Cape Cod- September 2016

Nesie and Steve hosted a little brunch at their place on Sunday so that the family could get together while we were in town. We also all took the opportunity to celebrate Mary's 59th birthday.

We also took the kids to run around Bayview Beach. They got soaked in the little low tide puddles.
